Photoelectric Sensor Cables and Accessories

A common question is: "When do I want quick-disconnects (Q/ D) versus embedded cable output?"

While the cost is slightly higher when purchasing a sensor and a Q/ D cable compared to only purchasing a sensor with a pre-attached cable, the Q/ D output allows easy replacement of a failed sensor. This is important in minimizing machine or operation downtime. The choice is yours.

A variety of cables and accessories are available for photoelectric sensors.
Accessory items include:

• Cables - Pico (M8) Quick-disconnect
• Cables - Micro (M12) Quick-disconnect
• Extension cables with quick-disconnect plugs on each end (M8 and M12)
• Reflectors
• Mounting brackets, beam adapters, and shutters
